Pre-Owned Illustrated Hieroglyphics Handbook (Paperback) 1402700253 9781402700255

With this new approach to hieroglyphics, you'll step back 5,000 years and begin to understand the philosophy and life of the ancient Egyptians. More than 200 original hieroglyphs, combined with detailed semantic explanations, bring a new dimension to the astonishingly modern drawings. Go through it like a dictionary, reading phonetic and graphic interpretations: every element in each panel is broken down, so you'll see why a picture of two serpents, plus a rope and legs in movement, signified destruction.
